Saturday. May 2Est. 1857,

that valuable property in the County of Au-
gusta, near Vesuvius Station of the Shenan-
doah Valley Railroad, sold in 1888 by 7. W.
Shelton and others to the defendants, Walton
and Sweeney, and by them to The Virginia
China Clay and Fire Brick Company. This
sale embraces the entire deposite of Kaolin
upon the two tracts of 900 acres and 10 acres
known as the McGufin land on the waters of
the South river, of the James, and on and near
the South Mountain, with the right of entry
for mining and removing the same, together
with the fee simple of five acres upon the rail
road for the erection of buildings and works.
The quality, vast quantity, uniformity, and
accessibility of this deposite render it one of
the most valuable Kaolin beds in this country
Its trend renders it easy to move the clay by
gravity tram roads. Pure water and abundant
timber is at hand. The clay is remarkably
homogeneous and pure, being porcelain clay
unusually free from mica and other mineral
admixtures. and specially adapted to the ma
nufacture of high grades of pottery. The cri-
teal tests to which fire bricks made of it have
been subjected, and their resistance of heat,
gases, and friction alongside of the best
standard brick, warrant the belief that no
better article can be produced in America.
TERMS Cash to pay costs of suit and ex-
penses of sale, and bonds with security for
the residue in equal instalments at 6, -, and
IS months, bearing interest from day of sale,
and title retained until paid.

sage.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press contains
this item of interest to the sporting ele
ment: 'DesMoines and st. Paul promise
to have something of dispute over little
Harry Sage. Manager Barnes says Sage
has signed with St. Paul, and the latter
says he did not. So she matter stands,
so far as Sage and the St. Paul club are
concerned. DesMoincs steps in and
offers Sage more money than he had been
offered by St. Paul. The consequences
are, Sage quietly departs for DesMoines,
and by this time has probably signed with
that club, 1t must not be thought from
what is written above that Sage did not
sign with St. Paul, for he did. 1t is upon
the date of this contract the question of
veracity hinges. Barnes says it was subs
sequent to Noy. 1, and Sage says it was
not. 1t is great pity that there should
be any question between the two, for
Sage proved himself last year to be one
of the best catchers in the league, and he
was we'll liked by all tue local patrons OF
the same" The DesMoines Leader adds:
The Press need not shed any tears Sage
is signed with DesMoines, and will play
the season out with our club and doubt
less do bis full share toward winning the
northwestern league pennant.'

what might have followed can only
be conjectured but for the pres

rushed between the combatsnts and
shouted either peace or 'perlice,
the excitement rendering his articula'
